    No arguments there.

      Re: Patriot Demo Team

      For what it's worth, my son has a photo of the same pass at the JBLM Lewis-McChord show in July that is just as low if not lower....so it's certainly not something that was 'just' at Reno...nor a surprise for the FAA.

      But it has been kind of fun watching you two 'debate'........

                I don't see a thing wrong with that pass. Thats the
                "show" in air show.

                  Shorebird -- considering some of the near horizontal shots (from the ground) I have of you on the race course in several Gold Races, I can see how you'd feel that way, LOL...

                  And I totally agree!

                        I wasn't present this year, but judging by the pictures, I have no problem with the pass. I think to compare racing to airshow acts is, as Randy stated, Apples to Oranges. If we don't want airshow acts to fly low, then Sean Tucker, Kent Pietsch and several others would be a pretty boring show.

                          JCP would've had a fit if he ever saw Bob Hoover, Bob Love or Bill Fornof perform.

                            I'm sure he did.
                            I remember being at his parent's place one time when they were still in Calif.
                            Bob Love showed some home movies, his copies of gun camera footage from the Korean war.
                            I was just a teenager wannabe and flew up with guys from Chino.
                            Bill Fornoff didn't survive low level aerobatics so I don't know how you want to factor that one in.

                              Yeah,
                              I'm sure if Bill had been higher the wing wouldn't have come off. What was I thinking?

                                I don't know JCP personally, but I have to imagine given the place, people, and toys he grew up around up there, he has probably observed more high performance flying and pilots than many of us.

                                But let's be fair -- he wasn't having a cow over simply guys in aerobatic routines flying low.

                                He was specifically talking about the possible un-necessary risk posed by such a routine at Reno this year, due to it being under such scrutiny the year after the Ghost.

                                That it is far from meaning that he's someone who would be agitated by such a routine at other times and places.
